Changelog filename for native package about cargo-deb

[kornelski]

I think we're currently generating changelog.Debian.gz, which is correct for "non-native" packages.

I don't plan to support "native" packages, because Debian has many complex requirements for its native packages that a simple crate like this can't easily satisfy (changelog filename is the easy part, unbundling and src packages are harder). For "proper" Debian packages see debcargo crate.

Ok. Thanks for your answer.

However when a try to package a "hello world" Rust app, my package is still recognized as a native by lintian ? is there sthing I'm missing ?

For Debian "native" means "official". The native packages are the ones shipped by the Debian project, not you (unless you're an official Debian maintainer working for the Debian project).

So pretty much by definition everything you do with cargo-deb is non-native, because cargo-deb hasn't been chosen by the Debian project to make their official packages.
